Never before in modern history have entire topics in Medicine been actively prevented from discussion in public forums. As a result most of the world only heard one-sided narratives.
One day the whole world will know of your courage against these evil people. There are many of us who have our eyes open and have the upmost respect and faith in you. Thank you Dr Kory 🙏🏼
California passed a law outlawing speech that deviates from approved standard of care. I used to be surprised that competent doctors, the smartest people in the room, would tolerate such medical censorship. Then I realized there really aren't very many competent doctors, and they're really not the smartest people in any room.
I can remember four times in my life in which I deviated from the commonly understood medical (or dental) approach for various reasons. (On many other occasions the commonly understood approach worked just fine.) On each of those four 'outlier' occasions, the deviated approach worked.
In each doctor's defense, the human anatomy is so complex that it isn't humanly possible even given lengthy training for each doctor to know absolutely everything. Especially daunting in light of the fact that due to other constraints the doctor's time spent with a patient is sorely limited.
That said, on more than one occasion a simple common sense approach carried the day, where the conventional medical approach had been an abject failure. There's a problem there somewhere, but it often seemed to lie somewhere other than the doctor.
A better feedback system is definitely in order. No attempt was made in any of these cases to carry the knowledge forward to the next patient what had worked in lieu of what hadn't. The system kept doubling down on the same tired approach that hadn't worked in the first place.
The path to correcting this disaster is for all doctors to always remember their first duty is to their patients, not their bureaucrats. If we spend so much on training them and then demand they follow the book, we wasted the investment and might as well turn the hospitals over to google. Some doctors will always be better than others, just like auto mechanics and secretaries and substack authors and everyone else. We shop around to find the ones that suit us best. If we suffer damage we take them to court. It's an imperfect world. Bureaucrats don't make it better. The feedback system works fine when not censored.
Much to agree with in your reply, also much to comment on - and most of the difficulties apply to the population in general and NOT just doctors. Thus far in 2022, it's a much more difficult world to navigate through then it was only a few years ago, on so many fronts that I can't even begin to describe. Best wishes to all in your attempts to cope with all of this. You are not alone.
"In each doctor's defense, the human anatomy is so complex that it isn't humanly possible even given lengthy training for each doctor to know absolutely everything."
LOL, this reminds me of my (incredible) orthopedic surgeon of whom, during my first big follow-up visit with him looking at my required x-ray, I asked "Well, what about when I do this or do that and I feel this or that with this muscle?" His response, "I have no idea what's going on in there."
I hated that answer, but it was classic. All he cared about was my bones. Off to physiotherapy I went!
Wow, you and I could swap stories for hours. Different circumstance, much the same story... several disciplines, for me and probably both of us, making the rounds of alleged "specialists" whose best idea is inevitably to refer you to a different "specialist". Enough stories to make your eyes bleed, enough to get me a severe case of carpal tunnel.
Very much a collector of these types of stories. Thanks for adding one more to my collection.
The medical field is very similar to the military or to a guild. The leadership is affronted if someone from the ranks, who did not advance to a certain level in the hierarchy, starts making noise about a better path for a particular medical problem.
The story of what happened to Ignaz Semmelweis is illustrative: Dr. Semmelweis recommended that his colleagues wash their hands prior to delivering babies. He published his research on how this reduced puerperal fever, but he was ignored, criticized as being unscientific, and was eventually put into an insane asylum, because he wouldn't shut up.
Similar themes in so many fields. Makes you wonder why we're still not eating bark off the trees in order to survive. Any Cro-Magnon or Neanderthal who dared to suggest a better way of finding food probably got stoned to death on the spot by all the others.
You rock Dr Kory!!! Thank you for defending Dr Marik so eloquently. He, along with you, are my Covid heroes — I’m a 71 yo unjabbed healthy woman who has been using your Ivermectin prophylaxis protocol since it came out, and after numerous exposures I remain covid free. Unfortunately I am friend and relative free as well in a few instances due to my outspokenness against the prevailing wisdom — no regrets, glad to be one of your foot soldiers trying to spread the word. I have learned to “not throw my pearls before swine” and now quickly move on if folks have closed minds.
Dr Marik holds a special place in my heart for another reason, and I hope you will pass this along to him. Years ago our son had a serious infection on his leg and was on intravenous injections of vancomycin every few hours. We were extremely concerned as my husband’s cousin, a Mayo trained doc, had just sat by the bedside of her ex-husband along with their children watching him die of sepsis and there was nothing she could do to save him. When our son got this nasty infection I was panicking so I started doing research and came across a Dr. Marik at Sentara Hospital who had developed a new protocol for sepsis. I called his office at Sentara thinking I would get an underling and be given the royal runaround … Dr Marik, himself, picked up the phone and spent 10-15 minutes with me listening to my story and giving me advice as to how to boost our son’s immune system with vitamin C, etc. He could have passed me on to someone else or spent 2-3 minutes with me and be done. I will never forget his patience, compassion and kindness and am forever grateful as we immediately supplemented the vancomycin with Dr Marik’s suggestions and the response was almost immediate. I tried to call after our son recovered to thank Dr Marik, and that time I did get an underling so was never sure if he received my thank you so would truly appreciate it if you relay it now.
There will be a special place in heaven for Dr Marik, you and all the other brave men and women who have stood against the unrelenting onslaught of deception and craziness that just seems to keep on coming. You keep us healthy and sane and thus able to fight back in small ways within our sphere of influence. KUDOS!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful testimony to Dr. Marik's expertise and and humanitarian kindness. 💓 This makes me want to hug you! I'm not vaccinated either.
Ivermectin is the new “dirty” word amongst internists and residents at the hospital I work at. The head IM resident trainer won’t look at me or say hello as we pass in the hallway. Their loss. So frustrating for you and Paul to not be able to pass your wisdom and knowledge to residents and other attendings. Thanks for explaining what happened at your respective jobs… again their loss. Egotistical jackasses.
It's been difficult these last couple years. I had to get a new doctor over covid. Due to concern over covid I bought ivermectin and HydroxyChloraquine from India and decided to treat right away. Guess what? We found the combination effective against colds & flu too. If you take those on day one of being sick, there is seldom a day two of being sick. Neither of us have had covid as we have tested negative for igg/igm antibodies for over 2 years.
Take out the word “science” and substitute “reality”. The worlds current leadership in just about all things is an incompetent idiocracy. And, when reality reveals you to be incompetent, you have two choices: one: find a different line of work, or; two: pretend reality is not a valid concept and double down on your idiocy. We have entered the self-immolation phase of the idiocracy. The thing about reality is that it’s like a Kevlar rubber band-the snap back will take your head off.
The brilliance and scope of your writing, logic and story telling is breathtaking. And of course your fierce dedication at all costs for presenting great truths is beyond inspiring!
I am fascinated to read of the previous medical debates. Oh may they please come again.
A question and a story, I had read that Dr. Marik had formulated a sepsis treatment protocol that included intravenous Vitamin C and thiamine. This was not mentioned in your manifesto here. I am curious about that.
After hearing about Dr. Marik’s court case, I flew down, carrying signs for the protest/rally and made it my absolute goal to attend the hearing. No cell phones or water bottles allowed inside. I left my unopened one outside hidden. I rode up in the elevator with a unimpressive toady looking man who was nervously shuffling through a disheveled small file. The hospital representative as I would find out later.
I was made it my intent to sit behind Dr. Marik. Minutes prior to the beginning of the trial as we were getting seated, I passed by him and gently touched his back in supportive affirmation. He turned to me and asked me if I could get him some water. I immediately ran out of the courtroom, looking for a source. Thought of my water outside and knew that wasn’t an option. Felt panicked, trial wasn’t starting and they don’t like late arrivals. I ran down the hall, found a water fountain, furtively thinking where to find a cup? Thought security guards on first floor. As I approached the elevator, the doors opened and a gentlemen in a uniform was exiting. I asked him for help, stating my need. He calmly and graciously took me to his office close by and I got three plastic cups. I was so grateful, he was a gift! Back to the water fountain. Let it run, run, clear out the old water sitting in there. Back to the courtroom.
The beginning of the trial felt so promising. I have been in court many a time. The judge was gracious and despite the protocol for objectivity, he appeared quite sympathetic to Dr. Marik’s case. And it initially felt strong.
But a alas a judge cannot rule on medical treatment decisions, only the “law”. The trial went on for 4 hours. In the latter half, the knives came out. Throughout the whole trial the attorney for the hospital must have mentioned Ivermectin at least 10 times. Despite the fact that Dr. Marik stating at the first mention that he was not allowed to prescribe it at that hospital. He had other tools in his tool box. That’s when I knew, for the press, the witch hunt was on about Ivermectin. I was disgusted and appalled. Their lawyer attempted to slander Dr. Marik. Didn’t work. He was able to defend and the judge dismissed the claim as not pertinent to the case regardless. They hammered away, hospital head spoke. I saw the case crumbling, they beat and beat away. Realized that the legal merits had no real teeth. It was a horrific experience as time unfolded. Justice there was merely a concept, a hope, but no true reality.
I have been filled with such bitter disappointment and grief since the Senate Homeland Security Hearings. But also fierce determination and commitment to Early Covid Treatment. These courageous doctors who came to the forefront of battle, the frontlines, are the true heroes. Risking all, more than they could ever have imagined.
But gaining so much more.
You have our hearts, 100%, our hopes, our faith, our loyalty, our commitment.
You are the five star generals and the infantrymen.
Truth is on your side, the darkness may appear great, but Light and Truth will prevail!
In reading the latest research in regards to Covid, I have a feeling that big Pharma and the rest of censorship gang have already begun to do their own research and sku the results as in the "Hill" Ivermectin case to fit their narrative.
After they have the necessary "fake" research then they will debate Steve Kirsch.
Great article! When you mentioned the patient they accused Paul Merik of treating for covid without Covid but whom he HEALED from illness ON A VENTILATOR, it immediately reminded me of the Pharisees who were irate that Jesus healed people under the “wrong” circumstances. Never mind that he was the only one dramatically healing people, period! Hello - what kind of blindness does not marvel at healing or become so distracted as to not care?
Then I read an example (not on purpose) in my daily bible reading, just picking up where I left off yesterday...in Luke 13:10-17. It’s the same exact “spirit” or mentality present in both situations. It is not new. But for me it gives comfort that God sees and oversees and what is good will prevail in the end, because it comes from the maker of all things. The lying spirits are distortions and cannot persist forever because the light will shine on them and truth is its own solution. It makes plain what is and isn’t and clears up all confusion and illuminates what is beautiful.
Not sure if it’s true, & I’ve only found 2 news reports documenting the recent (2012-2015, I can’t remember exactly the year) change to it, but search up the Smith-Mundt Act. It’s a decades old law that made illegal the US govt, disseminating propaganda meant for US citizens ON US SOIL. It was in place literally 40-60 years.
I think it was a Buzzfeed story about how, apparently, in the mid 2010s, the administration in the WH at that point succeeded in getting into the NDAA (“Defense spending authorization bill”) a provision that essentially flipped that law. It was known as the Smith Mundt Modernization Act. Supposedly it legalized the use of propaganda ON American soil.
I’ll try to find it again. I knew a guy who teaches Constitutional Law at U Texas at Austin & asked him to look for it for me & see if it meant what I thought it meant. He came back & said no, it was just a way to deal with the whole digital way in which info is spread so I really don’t know, but during Covid it sure as heck has SEEMED that our US govt is spreading propaganda ON US SOIL, which made me think maybe my friend was wrong.
I’m going to find it & post the links I can find. I think you might be interested in it. Maybe someone on here can clarify or correct me on this.
The original argument used to beginning the "modernization" was that VOA radio station in Florida could not target Cuban audience because the broadcast range fell across Americans too.. given no way to separate the signal and barred from targeting domestic populations the aims of advancing democracy via State Dept VOA rants was limited into Cuba. As a rule Bills passed w "Modernization Act " titles reek of industry influence & riddled w new loopholes.
Can't stand in the way of global freedom, eh? Hark back to pre-Trump Derangement Syndrome when ACLU was a fierce defender of free speech not woke wordsmithing. Nice look at original intent and limitations to government propaganda & public free speech.
I think you forgot to mention the third new commandment:
Thou shall not have a personality--and concomitant discernment and creativity--as a practitioner of Medicine. (In Healthcare? Sure. Go for it and knock yourself out à la Tony Fauci.)
The late Mark Josephson comes to mind. I never met the guy, but attended his memorial service with a former student of his. That memorial was a hoot!
'Mark Josephson was a passionate educator who trained many of today's national and international leaders of cardiovascular electrophysiology. He was a creative physician–scientist, intellectually gifted, one who challenged existing doctrines and was usually correct in his predictions; and he was a physician–educator who cared deeply for his students and patients. Early in his career, he endured many criticisms of his pioneering efforts, almost always with a smile and a shrug of his shoulders. “They will see.”'
As an ex health care worker I find this whole story severely depressing! It just makes me feel a deep sense of loss. Losing just the two of you means many do not gain from the wealth of knowledge and experience you bring. The future in medical looks bleak as unfortunately you guys were not the only ones ousted.
I read somewhere 90% of doctors got the jab. They just all lined up unquestionably for a brand new, highly experimental, rushed gene therapy based jab. We are looking at a future of doctors who will just blindly follow protocols handed down to them from corporate who got the order from NIH and big pharma. No real thinking involved. Never questioning authority! No independent thinking. It’s freaking scary!
We need a new or ulterior system. One where healthy scientific debate is not only allowed but encouraged. Where new isn’t always better. Where we incorporate nutrition and supplements into care. Use whatever is available that’s proven to help. Questions and debate encouraged. Research and thinking. How fantastic would that be?
A girl can dream.
I’m grateful your both on our team. In losing you guys they lost, we gained. 💪🏻
One day the whole world will know of your courage against these evil people. There are many of us who have our eyes open and have the upmost respect and faith in you. Thank you Dr Kory 🙏🏼

We are looking at a future of doctors who will just blindly follow protocols handed down to them from corporate who got the order from NIH and big pharma. No real thinking involved. Never questioning authority! No independent thinking. It’s freaking scary!
We need a new or ulterior system. One where healthy scientific debate is not only allowed but encouraged. Where new isn’t always better. Where we incorporate nutrition and supplements into care. Use whatever is available that’s proven to help. Questions and debate encouraged. Research and thinking. How fantastic would that be?
A girl can dream.
I’m grateful your both on our team. In losing you guys they lost, we gained. 💪🏻
